Darn, forgot to reply to this email before the UI freeze :/

Yes, I would have changed Nautilus to use checkbox menu items for
toolbar, sidebar, location bar and status bar, if for no other reason
than lots of other apps are now following the HIG in this respect.  I
don't think I'll be losing any sleep over it just yet, though...
